“Sometimes you wonder, “How did I get myself into that scene? Why did I take that on?” You know, you couldn’t really have done anything different at that time. Now maybe, if that comes around again, you might think twice, not think about it at all, or not do anything at all about it. But let it play itself out as it now presents itself. That’s called being open to life’s changes, however subtle or outrageous they come.”

And there is no one to care whether you ever did in the first place. There is a song about this. Maybe someday I will sing it to you.”
